If so, this could be a possible explanation for the use of the same label for plants and jars.
You correctly understood me.
Work with the correspondence of small and large plants (or different pages of small plants) I have not finished yet. Not enough free time. In addition to 32 analogues, I found another 4.
Thank you, Wladimir! Your research seems to me to be quite accurate and the visual data you are patiently collecting will likely be of use to others.
I have put together the labels of your matches in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (as always, there might be errors). There is not much that is immediately relevant to this thread (few of the couples are entirely from the "pharma" section), yet it's a line that could be developed also in this context. For instance, one could make a search for similar plants limited to the pharma-section (e.g. matching each illustration to the most similar illustration, all in the context of this section, and then compare the labels). I will reflect on this.
Your idea of "substances" is certainly interesting, both because it might explain some weird repeating labels and because it prompts some research on what the pharma-paragraphs could be. I know there are medieval texts about compound medicines, but I haven't really studied any of them. What can these "substances" be? That's a fascinating question!
